I'm not quite sure what to do with this page as it is mixing up a variety of organizations and is not linking across to some with their own pages (many of which could frankly be integrated in or don't even count as notable as they are no more than a couple of lines). -- Erp ( talk) 06:52, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
Someone please delete the duplicate reference, listed as "1" at the end of the section. I try to remove it, but end up deleting the entire section. That ref btw is already included at 5. ~Andarin —Preceding unsigned comment added by Andarin ( talk • contribs) 18:01, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
I unmerged Hopkins Marine Station and Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve as they do not really belong in this article. No discussion took place when they were merged in-- Erp ( talk) 01:14, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
I'm not sure this belongs here and certainly not, I think, in the first category (I can't find it under the Dean of Research listing). Does anyone know organizationally where DCI goes in the university? Is it continuing studies or somewhere else? -- Erp ( talk) 04:51, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
I disagree with the current entry for Hoover Institution under "See also". For some years now it has said "Hoover Institution , a conservative think tank which is affiliated with Stanford University. The Hoover Institution staffed numerous positions in the Trump administration." That is totally inappropriate. The Hoover Institution has existed for more than 100 years. Its claim to fame is not about the Trump administration; that is a blatant violation of WP:Recentism. Someone recently removed the Trump administration mention and added other information; that editor was blocked for block evasion, and their edit was reverted to the longstanding version. But IMO they had the right idea. The Hoover Institution is NOT primarily known for providing staff for Trump! Throughout Hoover's 100 years of existence many Hoover fellows have been given prominent positions in various administrations; see, for example, Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice in the George W. Bush administration. To top off the inappropriateness of the Trump claim, it isn't even supported by the attached reference! I propose that the reference to the Trump administration be removed from the "See also" description. It should simply say that the Hoover Institution is a think tank affiliated with Stanford.
